Questioning Everything Propaganda
Here is a table summarizing the enzymatic cleaner products I recommended for removing cat spray/urine smells. Prices are approximate current estimates (as of 2025-2026 data from major retailers like Amazon, Walmart, Petco, PetSmart, Chewy, etc.) for the most common ready-to-use spray sizes (typically 32 oz / 1 quart unless noted). They can vary by retailer, promotions, size, or location—check for Chicago-specific availability (many are stocked at local Petco/PetSmart on the North Side or downtown, or order online with same-day pickup/delivery via Amazon, Walmart, or Instacart). These are budget-friendly, highly rated options that focus on enzymatic action with minimal requirements.
| Product Name | Approximate Cost (32 oz size unless noted) | Where to Purchase (Chicago-Accessible Options) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nature's Miracle Urine Destroyer (or Urine Destroyer Plus) for Cats | $10–$15 (32 oz) | Walmart, PetSmart (multiple locations including Near North), Petco, Amazon, Target | Widely available locally; targeted for cat urine; often the most affordable and trusted starter option. Larger 128 oz refills ~$25–$35. |
| Anti Icky Poo (Unscented or Original) | $20–$30 (32 oz / quart); $40–$60 (gallon) | Amazon (fast shipping to Chicago), Walmart (online/in-store select), Home Depot | Highly praised by vets for stubborn cat spray; unscented version great if sensitive to smells; gallon sizes more economical for heavy use. |
| Bubba's Rowdy Friends Pet Stain & Odor Terminator | $20–$25 (32 oz) | Amazon, direct from bubbasrowdyfriends.com (ships quickly), Chewy | Top-rated in recent reviews for complete elimination; citrus scent; versatile on multiple surfaces including carpets/furniture. |
| Skout's Honor Urine & Odor Destroyer (for Cats/Dogs) | $15–$25 (35 oz) | Petco, PetSmart, Amazon, local pet shops (e.g., some on North Side) | Probiotic/enzymatic, often fragrance-free options; good for ongoing use; larger 128 oz ~$30–$35. |
| Rocco & Roxie Professional Strength Stain & Odor Eliminator | $15–$25 (32 oz); bundles often cheaper per bottle | Chewy, Amazon, Walmart, Rocco & Roxie site | Excellent for deep-set cat urine; enzyme-activated; safe on most surfaces; frequently bundled for value. |
These products are all pet-safe when used as directed and available in Chicago via big-box stores (e.g., PetSmart at 157 W Grand Ave near downtown or North Side locations, Petco chains), online with quick delivery, or in-store pickup. Start with Nature's Miracle if you're looking for the cheapest immediate option—it's stocked almost everywhere. For tougher, repeated spraying, Anti Icky Poo or Bubba's often outperform in user tests. Always test on a small hidden area first, and saturate thoroughly for best results. If you need help finding exact stock at a nearby store, let me know your ZIP code! Good luck getting that smell gone before the neuter.
